Miley Cyrus was a newly recruited Disney star at 12 years old. The young girl regularly attended her red carpet appearances with her dad or entire family by her side.

Miley’s parents often described her as ‘Smiley Miley’ during this time, which was true to her personality. This sweet girl stole our hearts on Hannah Montana and built a fan base for her entire life.

Breakout Miley

In 2008 Miley Cyrus started to assert her sense of style with edgier outfits and darker hair. The pop start explored projects outside of Hannah Montana with her album Breakout.

Breakout wasn’t too much of a departure from Miley’s Disney image as she was still under their contract. Her breakup song 7 Things was a hit, and the first time Miley used her voice to speak out on drama.
